Sometimes, studying can be overwhelming for me. I write down the things I want to achieve today and achieve this week and realised there was quite a bit to do since it’s week 12.
These are 12 things I tell myself when I feel a little demotivated and a little overwhelmed. These are my own things and they may not apply to you. I am sharing this in hope you can find some of it hopeful.

Hi All,
I hope that your studies are going well and you are enjoying life at Uni.
As a student it is never too early to start to think about your career and life beyond university.
If you haven’t given much thought to your career then now might be a good time to start.
Restless nights, followed by tiring mornings and always feeling like you can never catch enough sleep?
Like how we have habits to keep our teeth clean and our studies done, we have habits that affect our sleep.
Sleep hygiene describes good sleep habits. Here are some advice to help you get a good night’s sleep from a student. Most of these are common sense but the hustle and bustle of the modern and uni life makes most of us neglect some of our common senses and self-care.
We’re excited to announce a new project: SSLL Volunteers!
We’re looking for ‘loungies’ to help us look after the space after hours. If you love the SSLL and want to make it a better space, apply now at: http://bit.ly/2nb7uTw
Applications extended to Sunday 23rd April 2017, 11.59pm.
Hi All,
I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new and returning students. I hope that you are starting to settle in and get into the swing of uni life.
As the Careers Education Consultant (Science) I would like to draw your attention to all the workshops and seminars that are available to help you on your career journey.
This month is ‘Careers Month’.
This is a month of career events, seminars, workshops, panels, forums and more!

Science cannot solve all our problems.
By studying science and by allocating billions of dollars into research, we hope to expand and organise our understanding of the universe, providing us testable explanations of past and current events and assisting in predicting and preparing for our future. But there is a huge difference between knowing something and acting on it.
All of us would rather do bury ourselves in the comfort of an Ostrich Pillow:
Fear not, you can reduce your exam anxiety by:
Setting a study schedule and study plan. Here’s a blank timetable for you to fill out your times. Make sure to include breaks!
While the layman might enjoy perusing their phone to gaze upon their friend’s lunches or recent trips overseas medical professionals are using their very own social media apps to help save patient’s lives. Newly developed apps such as Figure 1 are taking the guess work out of complicated medical cases.
Launched in 2013 Figure 1 allows medical professional (doctors, EMTs, nurses etc) to upload images of their various medical scans/samples/specimens to crowd-source diagnosis. Technically anyone can view the images but only medical professionals can become verified (much like celebrities and their social media pages). The idea was born from the fact that 10,000 medically related emails and texts were already being sent between doctors each day in the U.S, according to Figure 1 co-founder Dr. Joshua Landy.
Images are often heavily censored to protect patient’s privacy and are not published if deemed unnecessary. Not only does it allow professional collaboration but can be used as a teaching tool, professors often upload medical images for their students to comment and discuss to support their classes.
